ELECTRI Council Chairs
Under the leadership of the ELECTRI Council Chair, Council members analyze industry trends and challenges, evaluate proposals from top universities and research institutions, and recommend major initiatives for project funding. They also serve on select Task Forces to guide each commissioned project from start to finish. With direction from the Chair and the insight and expertise of Task Force members, ELECTRI ensures that every funded initiative is of the highest quality—and that its results are shared broadly across the electrical contracting industry.
